Event Director of Working Buildings 2008, Adrian Newton, comments on the

quarters* of London’s carbon emissions and so it is vital that building and
estate managers take their responsibilities towards the environment
seriously. The judges of the Office of the Year award will be looking for
measurable improvements in reducing consumption and improving energy
efficiency.”
The other categories in the Working Buildings Innovation Awards are as
follows:

— Best innovation in green product or service

Newton continues, “The Working Buildings Innovation Awards will raise the
profile of the most innovative products and services within the built
environment.”
